Serves a wide range of ages and interests, some lists rather outdated, but the new wiki element of the site may bode improvement on this. Use this site for read-alike lists, school assignments, unusual thematic requests.

Selected yearly, the popular paperback lists include both fiction and nonfiction and are arranged by topic, not by publication year like YALSA’s other lists. Useful for high interest nonfiction, thematic and appeal based recreational reading.

A growing wiki of lists created by participants in a YALSA book discussion listserv. These lists are usually created in response to a participant's need for suggestions so they can be very timely and useful.

Sample lists:

First Lines - The Good, The Unusual & the Funny

International Books

Romance for boys

Special Topics / Genre

Some types of books are frequently requested by teens, their parents, or teachers, and are not always easy to spot in the general or thematically organized lists. Find lists for these types of requests here.
